Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"This book is a comprehensive presentation of the theory and use of decision forests in a wide range of applications, centered on computer vision and medical imaging. The book is strikingly well integrated. . This is an excellent volume on the concept, theory, and application of decision forests. . I highly recommend it to those currently working in the field, as well as researchers desiring an introduction to the application of random forests for imaging applications."
